Before anything reaches the museum store, excavations take place as part of the planning process. Once the digging is done, the specialists have worked their magic, the archives come to us. Our job? To care for them in perpetuity and make them accessible to everyone.

This #Medieval stone mould is in the museum collection. I'm trying to work out the inscription. Probable saltire stops and it starting with 'h' is as far as I've got. Can anyone get further with it? The top image is of the mould, the lower a mirror image to make reading the inscription easier. Thanx

It reads: “Thank you to all with Long Covid and their families and doctors and nurses involved in treating Long Covid who have written to us at The Rest is Politics. I must admit I had no idea of the scale of the problem until we discussed it on the podcast."

I love this photo... my volunteers taking photos, one of a mammoth tusk, the other Roman coins, and a curator, ie me, propping up the tusk as her muscles burn and willing the photographer to hurry up! #CuratorLife

This milk chocolate Sutton Hoo strap end was a present a year or so ago and goes out of date next month. Do I save it and never eat it? Or eat it? Can’t decide.

I'm looking to borrow a replica woolly mammoth like Fluffy below for an exhibition in the summer of 2025. Any ideas who may have one that I can approach?
